Thread 173 Shock. Break out the duvets and huddle round the scorching hot brazier HBF-of-choice.

Yet more domestic drivel and shameless perving.

Morning all. I have been out doing more signage and prep for VillageEasterEvent. DH has been out to Tesco where the hordes have descended to stockpile food and supplies for the impending hours when it will be shut Hmm.

Weather is 'meh'. Chilly wind still as well. Brrr, etc.

Hope that Fancy has a lovely weekend with DSis and BiL, and LetUs is playing in a yarn pit, and Apricot is having a nice caravan trip, and Wicked isn't being snowed on (or is, but is also snuggled up in bed with HBFs)

Evening wenches.

I rather like the sound of a yarn pit. Had a lovely outing with BestFriend this morning complete with tea shop visit because it is The Law. Have finished the back of the thing I’m knitting. Have stopped it now for the evening as it needs a lot of concentration which seems to have wandered off.

Four loads of washing done and dried. Result is lots of ironing though. Weather’s been lovely.

Ah yes Helen, the mad shopping dash for extra of everything.

Hope Apricot’s having a super time at the caravan, and Fancy’s having a lovely visit.

<checks that Wicked has enough HBFs>
<piles up more snow>

LetUsPrey · 08/04/2023 08:38

Morning wenches.

Sun is shining again. Plan today is washing, baby cuddles <squeeee>, knitting.

Have excellent days wenches.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 08/04/2023 11:05

Morning all. That sounds like an lovely plan LetUs.

We did have sunshine earlier, but now it's just cloud again. We are going for fish and chips at the beach today, which will be cold nice Grin

ApricotCrush · 08/04/2023 18:02

Afternoon. The weather was lovely when we arrived yesterday but there has been some high cloud today. We went to the beach this morning which was a bit chilly and DD and I attempted to sit in the sun this afternoon but didn’t last long.

Fish and chips on the beach sounds lovely Helen.

Glad LetUs’s outing was successful, and hope Fancy is enjoying her family’s visit and WW is enjoying her weekend viewing.

We’re off for a meal shortly.

LetUsPrey · 08/04/2023 20:41

Evening wenches.

Hope your meal out was delicious Apricot.

Mmm Helen at beach fish and chips.

Weather was lovely today. Had some baby cuddles but he started having a bit of a cry which stopped when he went to BigSis or DS1. I shan’t take it personally Grin Starting a new knitting project which involved stitches I’d not done before. With the help of YouTube and starting from scratch three fucking times it’s finally underway.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 08/04/2023 22:28

Oooh - well done on persevering with the new stitches LetUs.

The beach wasn't as cold as expected - less wind, so it was quite nice and even Shock warm !!! Shock at times. Just watching the forecast and it's positively balmy tomorrow.

LetUsPrey · 09/04/2023 08:33

Morning wenches.

Happy Easter wenches!

Yes it’s beautiful here too Helen so I’ve sacked off the ironing to tomorrow when we have rain forecast.

Visiting today and not much else.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 09/04/2023 09:22

Morning. Also sunny and lovely here, and also visiting today which has stuffed up DH's cooking plans. But ho hey ho.

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 09/04/2023 20:50

Evening wenches.

The beautifully sunny day did not last. No rain but went dull late morning and quite breezy.

Did visiting, did knitting and baking. Put the ironing off to tomorrow.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 09/04/2023 21:14

Evening all. It's been sunny, but a bit chilly later on. Much visiting has been done, including an unexpected drop-in, which was embarrassing because of the house being a pigsty lovely.

I would have liked to have got more done in the garden, and get a wash through the machine, but ho hum. Tomorrow they are forecasting rain, and of course DS is out tomorrow doing sporty stuff. <le sigh> Speaking of which, I need to make him a packed lunch.

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 10/04/2023 08:10

Morning wenches.

It is lovely to see people isn’t it Helen, but my house also not drop-in visitor ready.

Rain forecast but there’s blue sky for now. Going to have breakfast, force gently encourage DS2 to do some revision, and then I’ve the ironing too. Then knitting.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 10/04/2023 08:52

Morning. Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain... which is a pain in the arse because yesterday was lovely but I couldn't get any gardening done because of visiting. And now it's deeply unappealing out there. FML, etc.

OP posts:
FancyFancy · 10/04/2023 11:58

Morning. Just!
Having a lovely weekend - second theatre visit tonight, this time FancyMan is coming with us.

Had a nice walk yesterday, weather was lovely - spring flowers, sunshine, tweety birds etc etc. Absolutely pissing it down today. Ho hum. Have fab days everyone 😁

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 10/04/2023 17:46

Can't believe I have to work tomorrow, easter has gone by so fast. Hope all wenches are well Smile

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 10/04/2023 19:41

Got another piece of cheesecake today and a glass of dessert wine, from my landladies. Can you believe it? I’m never moving from here 😀

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 10/04/2023 19:48

Evening, I have done some gardening in between showers and hail, so things have been dug up and moved in a productive sort of way. Plus helped pack up VillageEasterEvent.

IKR wicked? It's just rude. We should have a whole week off for Easter I think. Or longer. Your landlady sounds ace.

Hope that everywench has had a good day - Fancy at Theatre and Apricot coming home from the Caravan (I presume?) and knitting for LetUs.

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 10/04/2023 20:40

Evening wenches.

Raaaaiiiinnnnnnn for most of the day and now the wind’s picking up.

That sounds a particularly lovely weekend Fancy, except for the rain.

Glad you managed to get something done in between crappy weather Helen.

Your landladies sound amazing Wicked!

Did a lot of knitting today and watching Magpie Murders.

LetUsPrey · 11/04/2023 07:37

Morning wenches.

Bit blah here with the weather. Rain later. Blah.

DS2 has a revision class in school today so hopefully he’ll remember to go to this one.

Hope wenches stay dry and have good days.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 11/04/2023 08:35

Morning all. We have bright sunshine and wind, so I hope that stays because I've just put a load of washing on to make the most of it!

KillerKitty is asleep in a box (presumably still digesting whatever it was that he ate all but the stomach of overnight - possibly a baby rabbit) and IntelligentCat wants to go upstairs (which would mean me moving to open the door, so she's downstairs for now).

I have the freelancing thing, though I've rather enjoyed 4 days of not having to do any work, so I'd quite like to carry that theme on.

ApricotCrush · 11/04/2023 15:56

Afternoon wenches. We came home last night. The weather over the weekend wasn’t as promised by the app but it didn’t rain so we were able to get out and about and generally had a nice time.

However, it’s tipped it down all day today so I haven’t been able to start on the mountain of washing I brought back.

We’ve got DGS today and haven’t been able to do much with him either but he seems happy enough on his iPad with his friends.

Hope everyone has had a good day.

LetUsPrey · 11/04/2023 19:34

Evening wenches.

Early part of the day quite pleasant, but from just after midday rain, rain, and then some more rain. Quite windy now too. Oh and it’s raining. A lot.

Pleased it at least stayed dry for you Apricot. It is frustrating though when you can’t get on with holiday washing.

It was nice wasn’t it Helen? I’d like a job where I could be paid for just sitting and knitting, with the occasional breaks for a jigsaw. Not asking much really is it? Grin

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 11/04/2023 21:31

Evening all. We had enough sunshine and wind to dry the washing (mostly) before it started raining.

Glad you missed the rain at the caravan Apricot, less good about being rained in now you're home Sad

Hope that Fancy had a good weekend with theatre and family and FancyMan.

LetUsPrey · 12/04/2023 07:38

Morning wenches.

Is deceptively sunny here, lulling everyone into false hopes.

Can’t really be arsed today <sidles into cwtch cupboard with knitting and tea>

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 12/04/2023 07:42

Morning all. Same weather here LetUs - I gather it won't last Confused

IdiotKitty is indoors now. I nearly shouted at him earlier for attacking birds, and then realised that all the kerfuffle outside was two blackbirds fighting each other and nothing to do with him Grin

Must crack on - BoringOfficeJob today and I have to taxi DS off to SportingActivity.

<hides in cupboard with LetUs; adds HBFs to the mix, to hold the yarn.<tae>>
